it's the ones who are not the most overtly monstrous or redneck idiots you need to watch out for, who'll work behind the scenes to do things like put christian fundamentalists on the supreme court.
- helloworld11 4y agoOf course, lets demonize all of them, redneck or capable of intelligent discourse. It doesn't matter, they're just cogs in a large right wing conspiracy. The funny thing is how many progressives consider themselves highly reasoned, unprejudiced people, despite being subject to exactly the same sorts of deeply emotional, irrational biases, just in other directions.
- snapplebobapple 4y agoSo, what you're doing here is dehumanizing an outsider group (fundamentalist christians) so you don't have to feel bad doing bad things to this group. It's not a productive frame of mind for anything other than future coping with obviously immoral violent destruction carried out by you or your group on said outsider group. A more productive thing to do is to look at why they still exist, what they do better than progressives (i.e. they build enduring societies, something that is not at all obvious progressivism does because of, for example, the extremely low birthrate in progressive societies). And figure out ways to improve progressivism from what these other societies are doing.
- walrus01 4y agooh, right, because from the text of my comment which is a statement politically opposed to putting fundmentalist christians on the supreme court, you made the extreme leap to saying that I'm some supporter of violent immoral destruction. I don't see where I wrote anything about that. Been watching much Newsmax or OAN recently?
